Umm... times that by ten. You'll want 500k for singles and 250k for 'buckers, just a rule of thumb.

Crackling as you turn any pot doesn't mean it's blown, just means it's a dirty. Usually a quick spray of DW-40 can sort out trouble pots. If not then yes, spend a few quid on a replacement.

^ dont listen to him he dosent have a clue, first he says wrong pot (lol at guitarcams ownage)

then he says spray wd 40 in pots, well that will **** them up completly, WD40 is a wax based insulator and will add to the resistance between contacts & the wiper/track interface in pots. Use a good quality contact cleaner.
